[QUOTE=72lb4x4;2448513]Sorry to barge in, but since the body's off could you do me a favor and snap some pics of one side of the ubolt/block/snubber/spring plate area of the rear end?QUOTE]

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
I've about got the motor done. Put on a new oil pan, intake, dizzy, fuel pump and some other goodies. I should have it in and running tomorrow. Heres some pics of what I've got so far. The frame made a nice makeshift work bench

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Got some more done today in between all the normal weekend fun. Got the flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate on. Dropped the motor in. Put in some new plugs and wires. I still don't have them quite like I want them though. I believe everyone has that problem, lol. Friggin' plug wires. I got the starter on and as soon as the gas hit the carb it fired right up. I giggled like a little kid.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Nice work!!! Must be great to hear it run, congrats.
Didn't know this, but Rokcrln said they are special bolts that are designed to stretch. If you find a set LMK, as I want to put a set in as well. J.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Seems a little pricey, but it's a start. I have all 12 pt. ARP fastners so far, maybe I'll check them out. I also have to build the locking tabs to keep the bolts from backing out...
Man I wish I could hear mine run, I still have to build the exhaust and get my T/C back in then.... maybe vrooooom

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Few more things done. Got the core support on and radiator hooked up. Took a couple pieces of angle and braced it up so I don't have to worry about the fan getting into the shroud. Went ahead and put the other drivetrain together so I can mount it up on a pallet. Its about time to pull the chassis out and bring the body in.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Had a busy day yesterday. Got the motor tuned in/up...... Hit the key and if fires right up everytime, I luv it! Got the tractor and boom out (man its great to have this stuff at my disposal). Stuck my other motor/tranny/x-case on a pallet and moved it out under the shed. Then I hooked up the chassis and with some help moved it under the shed. Gotta love the shed

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Man, you sure have been busy. Sooooo, how much rust are you looking at, rockers and floors? Is the green body the one your using? J.

Yep, I'm using the green body. Its going to be less work than the orange one. The rocker boxes are mostly intact. Some P.O. cut a big square out of each bottom of the box to put in some steps. They also cut the corners off of the wheel openings. ![]() Last edited by Big J; 11-27-2007 at 08:46 PM. |

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Pretty typical pillar/rocker rust out but definitely fixable.
Faced one similar to yours once myself. ![]() |

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Had some fun this weekend... Went up to Alvin's and picked up a sweet set of doors. If anyone is in need of a cab or a SWB he's got some good stuff.
I worked on the blazer for awhile today. Still stripping... Got the heater box, column, dash, wiper motor, and the lenses off. On to the pics... |

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
He likes to tinker. We just built a winch mount and a plow mount for his sons atv and finished up the brake lines and gas tank on his wifes S10. Now hes tearing down a tractor and fixing the guard on his mowing machine. The shop moto is if its broke we can fix it, or make the problem worse then bring in someone who knows how, lol......
